MAGAZINE-BINDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 654,145, dated July 24, 190. I Application filed October 31, 1899. Serial No. 735,435. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, THEoDoRE B. FISHER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Delavan, in the county of Tazewell and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Magazine-Binders; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The special object ofthe invention is to make a file, case, or receptacle for magazines; and the invention consists in the construction thereof,as hereinafter described and claimed.

Figure l of the drawings is a perspective View of the invention; Fig. 2, a detail view of end piece and tin strips, and Fig. 3 a detail view exhibiting the position of said strips.

In the drawings,A represents the magazineile, whose back and sides are in one rigid piece, preferably having the form of a book.

B represents tin angle-strips having an upwardly-projecting flange and secured near the edge to end pieces C D, provided with the tin strips E. The latter pass through holes or slots in the angle-strip iianges and are then bent to form a hook to lock the end pieces to the file. I preferably use two pieces of pasteboard on the inside of file to stiien the ille and con; ceal the edge of tin. It will thus be seen that the one-piece back and sides are held rigidly to the intervening end pieces.

These files or cases are to be made of difa ferent sizes, so as to conveniently hold maga zines or other literary publications, either with or without advertisements. Of course the front is open.

Having thus described my in'vention,what Iclaim as new, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, isv v A file or case for magazines and other pub; lications, consisting of the case A with rigid back and sides, open front and end pieces O D, and strips B E, the latter being connectedby a hook-'and-slot joint as shown and de'- scribed. y

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

THEODORE B. FISHER.
